Nene to rest Sunday against Pacers, Tarik Black to play for Rockets

During the Rockets’ Saturday win over the Grizzlies, backup center Nene suffered a sore right ankle. According to the Houston Chronicle‘s Jonathan Feigen, he did not travel with the team to Indianapolis, instead taking a rest day. Tarik Black will play in his place.

Nene is not with the Rockets in Indianapolis (rest). Tarik Black to play off bench, as generally expected yesterday. https://t.co/r4TffBhuRE
